"Hard work! Is this what hard work is?"
Vulture Li Hao stared at the young man in front of him with his eyes wide open and an extremely ferocious expression.
The look on his face, as if he wanted to eat someone, frightened the young man so much that he took two steps back on the spot.
Beside Li Hao, there were seven other people standing scattered around.
However, the seven people all looked like they were watching the fun, and seemed to be gloating over Li Hao's anger.
"Vulture! I'm a full-fledged member of the Blackthorns! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of the punishment the Blackthorns will bring upon you?"
The young man took two steps back and finally reacted. He noticed that everyone around him was looking at him with teasing eyes. For a moment, he felt humiliated and could not help but scold angrily.
Upon hearing this, Vulture Li Hao sneered, took two steps forward, leaned forward with a vicious look, and directly hit the young man's forehead with his own!
"Punish me? For you? Are you fucking crazy? So what if you're a formal member? You're not even an Awakener! You're just a lowly thug in Blackthorn! Blackthorn arranged for you to follow me, you didn't really think it was to spy on me, did you? Is your mind full of shit?
The reason I'm not an official member of Blackthorn is because I prefer freedom over being constantly controlled! Otherwise, with my status as a Level 2 Awakener, I'd at least be a supervisor in Blackthorn! Do you really think Blackthorn would abandon me?
Li Hao was pressing against the young man's forehead, his red eyes were very close to the young man's eyes, and his saliva was flying all over the young man's face.
"Besides, is there anything wrong with what I said? I can't find that woman yet. Is it because I'm not trying hard enough? Outside the camp, there are ruins everywhere! How can I possibly know where she lives? It's only been a day, and you're urging me to try harder? Damn it, try harder! Let me see how you can find that woman through hard work!"
The young man took two steps back again, putting some distance between himself and Li Hao. At the same time, he reached out and wiped his face, wiping away all the saliva that Li Hao had sprayed on his face.
His gaze only lingered on Li Hao for a moment, and then he scanned the other seven people one by one.
The other seven people's undisguised expressions of watching the show made the young man quite angry.
But for now, if he wants to complete the task assigned by his superiors, he still has to rely on the force that these people can provide, so the young man knows that he must control his temper.
Getting angry appropriately can prevent these people from looking down on you, but if you keep getting angry, it would be too stupid.
However, a tough attitude must be demonstrated, otherwise, among a group of awakened people, he, an ordinary survivor, would not have any say even with the status of a formal member of the Blackthorn Company!
These seven people were all temporarily recruited by Vulture Li Hao in the camp yesterday.
Although none of them belonged to the Blackthorn Company, it would have been impossible for Li Hao to recruit these seven people temporarily without the Blackthorn Company's greeting.
One second-level awakener, six first-level awakeners, plus Li Hao's words, which means the only two second-level awakeners in the camp who are not affiliated with the Black Thorn Company, have all gathered together.
The six first-level awakeners are also the strongest among the remaining first-level awakeners in the camp.
If the Blackthorn Company had not come forward to make a greeting, it would have been impossible for Vulture Li Hao to have such appeal just by relying on his name.
His chest heaved violently, and the young man suppressed his anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "The company arranged for me to follow you, of course not to let me monitor you! What is there for you to monitor! No matter how much you boast about yourself, as long as the company gives an order, you have to do it! Do you dare to say no?
The reason you didn't join the company has nothing to do with whether you prefer freedom or not! It's simply because the company needs some people who are not in the company system to help the company deal with things that are not suitable for the company to deal with directly! Stop flattering yourself!
As the young man finished speaking, Vulture Li Hao immediately felt as if his tail was stepped on.
He flew into a rage and immediately grabbed the young man's neck, growling viciously, "Are you tired of living? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
The young man's face turned red instantly as he was pinched, and his hands subconsciously grabbed Li Hao's iron-like fingers.
But he still didn't show much sign of retreat, and he forced himself to speak: "Kill me if you dare! See how the company...will react to this! Don't mention that I'm at least...an official member of the company...Even if I'm just...a dog of the company...Now that I'm out...I represent the company's reputation! Just...try to kill me!"
Vulture Li Hao didn't expect the young man to be so tough, and for a moment he felt very embarrassed.
Especially the way other people around were watching the show made Li Hao really want to strangle the young man's neck without hesitation.
But...if he really had this kind of blood, he wouldn't have stayed in the Blackthorn Camp and been a dog for the Blackthorn Company...
His expression kept changing, but reason finally prevailed.
Li Hao loosened his grip, letting the young man collapse to the ground, coughing violently. With an extremely grim expression, he said, "There's no point in arguing about this. It's a complete waste of time. Do you have any good ideas?"
The young man slowed down and, seeing that Li Hao had given in, he stopped forcing him.
He climbed up from the ground again, rubbing his neck as he spoke, "My idea is simple. To the north of the camp is a trade route opened by the company and another camp several dozen kilometers away. To ensure the smooth flow of the trade route, the zombies and mutant creatures on this road have been repeatedly cleared, and it has been confirmed that there are no scattered survivors lurking.
To the east and west of the camp lie the relatively less dangerous ruins of Qindao's subordinate county. The scavengers in the camp generally scavenge along the edges of the ruins on these two sides. If the woman lived near the ruins on either side, it's unlikely she'd have any significant interactions with the scavengers in the camp, so..."
At this point, the young man pointed south and continued, "I think we should go directly south! It seems that the south is the core area of Qin Island, which is very dangerous. But everyone overlooks one point, that is, no matter how dangerous the core area of Qin Island is, there must be relatively safe blank areas on the edge!"
Li Hao looked surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he slowly nodded.
